FMS, one of the largest and busiest container terminals in the Western Hemisphere has since September 2019 used an Easy Gripper 2400-2T on daily basis as part of their tyre changing operation.
Safe and efficient tyre changing operation
Matt Dickinson, Senior Manager, FMS Terminal Management says …
“The Easy Gripper has added more value to our operation than any other piece of gear”
“Pound for pound the Easy Gripper is one of our most valuable maintenance assets. It is used daily and has made our tyre changing operation much safer and much faster”, he continues.
Safe and efficient handling of all sizes of port tyres
Port and container terminal tyres have a significant impact on both cost and safety for the entire operation. It is therefore of utmost importance that downtime due to tyre maintenance is kept to a minimum, but also that it is done according to the highest safety standards for protection of both personnel and equipment.
With an Easy Gripper installed on a truck crane, forklift, telehandler or front loader, mobile and on-site tyre service can be done on e.g. Straddle Carriers, Reach Stackers, AGVs and RTG cranes in any environment with just one or two operators ... faster than usually ... improving both efficiency and safety!
Accidents and damages to the equipment caused by uncontrolled movements are prevented due to:
Safe 3-point grip
Integrated camera system
Precise 90° tilt function, horizontal to vertical
Precise +/-25° rotation
Unique ring handling tools for secure handling of multi-piece rim wheels
Telescopic pipes for long reach and to provide room for the tyre fitters
Flat top arm for limited tyre clearance
